The first thousand and eighty-seven chapters will be on stage
"According to the traces of the road ahead, there are already many people walking ahead of us."
"I searched for two rangers, but couldn't find any useful information."
"The farmers, the Mo family, and others are also moving quickly ahead, and it seems... they don't want to pay attention to us for the time being."
In the void, a black mysterious light suddenly appeared. On the big green tree beside the narrow road, a few green leaves swayed, and a human figure appeared on it.
Standing high and looking around, everything is in the depths of your eyes.
At that moment, a piece of light white feathers fell from another big tree ten feet away.
"It seems..., compared to the Millennium Snow Lotus, we are not conspicuous."
Hearing this, Ying Ge smiled softly. This result was not unexpected. There were many hundreds of people coming to the outside of the Great Wall this time, not to mention many Xia Loose Cultivators and Rangers.
I'm afraid they are all slightly more than a thousand people.
Thousand-year-old snow lotus and three-legged ice toad are too attractive after all, and the benefits behind them are even more attractive. Although the Moh family and the farmers are not weak, this is not the foundation of the land of Zhu Xia.
They only had a limited number of disciples on this trip, and the mountains were vast and endless. As expected, they were beaten to the punch by others, and they were about to cry without tears.
"Since the young master has sent Black and White Xuanjian, I am afraid that he is already in front, so we should continue to move forward."
"The sacred land of the Donghu people is...in this direction, thousands of miles away, so far away!"
Yan Lingji also breathed a sigh of relief. The strength of their group was not weak. There were four powerful divine warriors. Even among today's hundreds of families, there were only a few who could dispatch them in one go.
Since the Mo family's first priority is the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, they can go there safely for a while, and they will be much more stable with Black and White Xuanjian later. As for whether they can capture the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, the Young Master should have backup plans.
Young Master would not give up something like that.
As he spoke, he took out a scroll of ancient maps from the mezzanine on the side of his horse. Referring to the traces along the way, it also showed the approximate location of the Donghu people's sacred places. Of course, there were also the Fuyu people's sacred places.
Since it came from the Donghu barbarians, then, with a little finger, you look towards the north of the east pole of the world.
The road was determined, and the group of people did not hesitate and quickly approached again.
At the same time, hundreds of miles away, where the Liaodong County of Yan State was located, Ji Yanran and his party, who had also heard the news and came from Daliang City of Wei State, were also riding strong horses and running towards the direction indicated by the ancient map.
****
"Your Highness, there are rumors of thousand-year-old snow lotus and three-legged ice toad outside the Liaodong Great Wall of Yan State. People from hundreds of families have gone there. There are not many left in Jicheng. I am afraid that hundreds of families will be in chaos."
"The envoys from Qi, Chu, Wei, the remnants of Zhao, the Xiongnu, Donghu and other places returned. Qi, Chu and Wei were unmoved as expected."
"Zhao Jia is willing to send 100,000 troops, Xiongnu Touman is willing to send 100,000 string-controlling men to go south to Jiuyuan, Donghu is willing to send 50,000 troops, the contract is 250,000, plus Yan's 200,000 to 300,000 troops, the total is 500,000
A large army is not afraid of the tigers and wolves of Qin."
In a corner of Jicheng, in the side hall of the royal city, Yan Dan was sitting quietly alone. The dark desk in front of him was filled with documents that had recently been sent from all over the Yan Kingdom.
In the past few days, I have been working hard, and my eyebrows are all sad. The short beard under my chin has not been carefully taken care of, and it looks a bit messy, especially on the temples.
There were only a few maids on the left and right sides of the side hall. Taifu Ju Wu bowed his hands deeply and spoke about many important events in Jicheng.
The three countries of Qi, Chu, and Wei did not offer any help. They had already sensed this when they sent envoys before. Therefore, they were not disappointed. For decades, Qi had not worked together with the Shandong countries and was of no use.
It has long been reduced to a maritime country that prefers peace and avoids war. It firmly believes in the non-attack covenant between Qi and Qin. It has been alienated from the Central Plains for many years and has no desire to get involved in the war against Qin.
In Daliang City of the Wei State, some ministers spoke out, but... the new Wei King Wei Jia was as afraid of Qin as a tiger, and even refused to see the special envoy of the Yan State.
In addition, Wei had just succeeded to the throne and was reorganizing its internal affairs and consolidating its power. He had no time to pay attention to the affairs of Yan State. Moreover, Qin General Wang Ben was currently leading an army of 100,000 to attack.
In the Chu Kingdom, the Chu King Fu Chu was also trying his best to suppress the old clan, and the great Sima Xiang Yan was training his army. They were far apart, and even if they wanted to, they could not help the Yan Kingdom much.
Touman Chanyu of the Xiongnu was ambitious, but was blocked by Mengtian's army as he headed south, unable to cross the Yinshan Mountains. In the name of aiding the battle, Touman agreed to hold off Mengtian's army and prevent it from going south to help Wang Jian's main army.
Therefore, Yan State is trying to win over other parties, and fortunately, everyone has responded. Although there are many harsh conditions, they are nothing. As long as Yan State still exists, everything will be worth it.
If the Yan Kingdom does not exist, everything will be in vain.
"An army of five hundred thousand!"
Yan Dan murmured in a low voice, and his eyes showed a little luster on his weathered expression.
The army of half a million people, compared with the strength of King Jian of Qin at this moment, felt somewhat at ease.
“What about labor conscription in the military?”
Immediately, Yan Dan remembered another urgent matter. The Yan State itself had to raise two to three hundred thousand troops. According to the tradition of one soldier and two men, it would at least have more than half a million civilians.
But... Qin State is approaching Yan State with great momentum, and the people in the country are frightened. Thinking of this, Yan Dan has another headache. The name of Qin State is a tiger and a wolf, which is hateful.
"Your Highness, don't worry. In the past month, according to the laws of the Yan Kingdom, the conscription has been launched. Although it is slow, there is still a plan available. I just hope that Your Highness will come forward."
Upon hearing this, Ju Wu, who had gray hair and beard, raised his head and glanced at Prince Dan, and bowed again. His Highness the Prince liked to shoulder everything by himself.
Unfortunately, my political talents are limited.
"Oh, tell me quickly."
Hearing that he had a good plan, the State of Yan was delighted.
"Your Highness can send a letter to the government and the public in the name of the king, describing the great righteousness of Han Shen, the minister, for the examination of the Xia Dynasty. He can be regarded as a man of benevolence and etiquette, and revive the legacy of Zhao Gong in the hearts of the old Yan people."
"If this is the case, half a million people can be easily mobilized. It can also make the people brave in public warfare, improve the morale of the army, fight against Qin, and allow all parties to see the rise of the Yan Kingdom."
Grand Tutor Ju Wu did not hesitate, and quickly said that he had been thinking about the strategy in recent days. In the past few months, many people of Yan State have fled. If they try to stop those who escape, it will only cause greater chaos.
The Yan Kingdom has been inherited for more than 800 years. Ju Wu felt that the grace and courtesy of the old Yan people surpassed those in the Central Plains. Sure enough, the government and the public were open to the public, and the people of the country were angry and shed tears of revenge. It is also possible to take revenge.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians should also be available.
"This... is very good!"
"Master, without you by Dan's side, Dan... is powerless."
Yan Dan, who was at the top, smelled it carefully. After taking more than ten breaths, his face suddenly became happy and he clapped his hands together. This strategy can be used. The old Yan people have been familiar with it for many years.
If this strategy is implemented, the people's support will be used, and the soldiers' fighting spirit will also be strengthened.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up from behind the desk, and immediately... the tall and burly figure stumbled unconsciously, causing Ju Wu in the palace to hurriedly approach him.
"It doesn't matter."
Yan Dan practiced martial arts a little and tried to stabilize his body. An unnatural red light flashed across his face. Since Han Shen was no longer with him, except for the Tai Tu, he had no other talents to use.
In the current situation, what Yan State lacks is talented people.
"The land of Can Zhao is now led by Zhao Jia, right?"
Stopping to get familiar with the figure beside the table, after taking a deep breath, Yan Dan walked down from the top and waved his hand to Ju Wu, while Xiongnu Touman restrained Jiuyuan Mengtian.
Then, the Yan State can then fight against the Qin State with the power of Donghu and Zhan Zhao. In terms of military strength, it already has an advantage.
Among the three parties, the one most important to Yan Dan is Can Zhao!
As for the Donghu, they are just barbarians outside the Great Wall. It would be good to give them some conveniences and be able to use them for their own use.
"Zhao Jia is now the false king of Zhao. Sure enough, he can defeat Qin this time and become the king of Zhao."
"The special envoy he sent is already on the way. He will arrive at Jicheng in three days."
Ju Wu had a lot of information, so he responded directly to His Highness's words.
“Can Can Zhao’s background be supported?”
General Wang Jian of the State of Qin led hundreds of thousands of troops, and the follow-up support was extremely strong. It was absolutely impossible to win one or two battles, and he had to go through several battles.
That was the time to test the foundations of the Yan State and Can Zhao. The Yan State had Yannan, Shanggu, and Youbeiping. It could support it for a year or two and should be fine, while Can Zhao lived in Yunzhong, grassland and other places.
Far away from the prosperous and prosperous land of Zhao, it is a fertile land with a worrying foundation.
Donghu is even more incompatible with the water and soil of Xia.
Yan Dan was deeply worried about it.
"Can Zhao... it shouldn't be a big problem to support it for one year. According to what I know, Can Zhao currently has a land area of three to four hundred miles, a population of five to six million, and a total of about two hundred thousand officials, soldiers, monarchs and ministers."
"Yunzhong Station, Zhao General Li Muduo has made great achievements in renovating it for decades, and it can be regarded as the foundation of this place."
Ju Wu slightly pondered and responded quickly again.
"As expected, who will be the general?"
Yan Dan nodded deeply.
The strength of the remaining Zhao could last for a year, so Yan Dan felt a little relieved. Wang Jian was far away from the core of the Qin State. Zhao's support was insubstantial, and the main supplies were probably shipped from Guanzhong.
The battle line is thousands of miles away, which is a huge drain on the Qin State. Not to mention...Qin General Wang Ben still has one drain, and one year is enough to decide the final outcome.
Among the three parties, Zhao Zhao was fine, and Yan Dan's mind was calm. The grand scene of hundreds of thousands of troops gathering in a corner rolled in his mind. Suddenly, he thought of an important thing.
As he spoke, his expression became even more confused. Then, he didn't know what he thought of and sighed.
"It seems that he is a close relative of the Zhao Kingdom's former Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, General Zhao Ping. His reputation...is somewhat obscure."
Ju Wu is also a little unsure. The envoy from Can Zhao is still on the way. What he knows now is only information obtained through inquiring and is not the final result.
After King Wu Ling of Zhao State, famous generals emerged in large numbers. Needless to say, Lian Po and Li Mu, with their presence, Qin State could not really do anything to conquer Zhao State. The following Sima Shang, Zhao She, Zhao Cong, etc. were also good.
In comparison, in the Yan Kingdom, there seems to be... no famous general since Queen Zhao!
Even Le Yi's descendants have left Yan State long ago.
Your Highness may be worried about this. The earlier Han, Shen, Wen, and Tao, who had both military skills and military skills, could be of great use, but..., apart from him, the rest of the people in the Yan Kingdom Temple could only live with so many corpses and not be of much use.
And a famous military general has a great influence on the battle situation!
"Among the hundreds of families, is there anyone who can help?"
As mentioned in the past, there is no need to say more. If there are no famous generals available in the temple, then we should look for them from hundreds of families. At present, there are many people from hundreds of families in Jicheng.
"The Mohist giant Lu Zhenlang is available!"
"But...he is now outside the Great Wall of Liaodong."
"Many people from peasant families join the army, but Confucian people and talented people do not join the Yan Kingdom."
Ju Wu replied again.
According to what I know, among the hundreds of families in Jicheng, there is no suitable candidate except for the Mohist giant Lu Zhenlang. Lu Zhenlang was first the leader of the Mohist wandering official sect, and his literary skills were outstanding.
Later, he became a Mohist giant and dispatched Mohist disciples to fight against the Qin State. In the Battle of Longxi a few years ago, he even had the experience of dispatching hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Although he was defeated, it was not his fault, but the barbarians' inability to lead the way.
.
Otherwise, Qin's six-pass defense on one side of the river would never be able to resist.
"Thousand-year-old snow lotus and three-legged ice toad were born at this time."
"Grand Tutor, immediately send out capable people, carrying documents written by Dan himself, to the outside of the Great Wall to look for the Mohist giant Lu Zhenlang and ask him to return as soon as possible."
"Dandang came to the stage to pay homage to the general and fight against Qin."
Normally, Yan Dan would definitely be very interested in the Millennium Snow Lotus and the Three-Legged Ice Toad, but now...but she just feels that the timing of the appearance of these two natural and earthly treasures is very bad.
It's not too late to wait until the battle with Qin has a winner.
As he spoke, Yan Dan turned around and returned to the first case, took out a brand new brocade silk from one side, muttered for a few breaths, and put down the pen. After half a stick of incense, he considered it again and stuffed the brocade silk document into the hardwood cylinder.
Pass it to Grand Tutor Ju Wu.
"Here."
Ju Wu took the document with both hands and bowed deeply.
"Master, Dan...you are the only one around me now."
"Recalling that a few years ago, Han Qing persuaded Dan to reform and strengthen the army to deal with the Three Jins and the Qin State. Dan only felt that he could suppress the enemy, but now... it's a little late."
"If Han Qing had adopted Han Qing's policy, what would be the situation in Yan State now?"
Yan Dan looked at Ju Wu, who had gray beard and hair in front of him. Deep in his heart, the excitement that had just risen suddenly fell. He realized that the Taifu was getting old, and one day the Taifu would also leave him.
Who else around me could be of great use?
"Your Highness, right now, the only thing we can do is fight with all our strength to resist Qin."
"If the state of Yan is preserved, the minister's strategy can be used."
Looking at the prince in front of him, whom he had taken care of since childhood, Ju Wu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Before the prince entered the Qin Dynasty as a hostage, he was so high-spirited and free.
Everything has changed, and Yan has also changed now.
There is not much that I can do. I have been in the Yan Kingdom all my life, and I have to live and die with the Yan Kingdom.
Perhaps I had even worse guesses about the situation of Qin's attack.
"Your Highness has been working very hard for the past few days."
"I have been selecting ten women from the royal palace and the county and city for the pleasure of His Highness. If there is any bloodline left, I can make the final plan."
"The eight hundred years of inheritance from the Yan Kingdom are worthy of being the best."
Ju Wu did not mention the more dangerous situation. He looked at Prince Dan in front of him, took a small step closer, cupped his hands and whispered, "Over the past few years, His Highness has been worrying a lot about political affairs."
The only heir left behind is the princess.
If something unexpected happens in the future and the princess is not able to inherit the importance of the country, she should be accompanied by a patriarchal man. For now, we can't think too much about it.
